Custom Cursors Problem

Hi,
This is with reference to the cursors module bah.ChangeCursor given by brucey. The cursor changed with the SetCursorPixmap remains so only for an instant and then reverts back to the arrow cursor. This happens when maxgui is not used .
Your help is appreciated.
Regards
Ramesh D

Is there an alternative to HideMouse() and DrawImage() for showing the cursor ?. The project I am working in should be done without maxgui. If I can get a custom cursor function it would be very helpful.
I am thankful for your earlier contribution for changing the cursor in maxgui. Since our application includes a game. we are not using maxgui.



Regards,
D.Ramesh

What is wrong with using Hidemouse and Drawimage?

HideMouse+DrawImage doesn't give you an async cursor.

I'm confused - is your name Lance, Bjorn or D. Ramesh?

Are there three people using the same account?

'Country: US, India, Sweden' would suggest so. Naughty! Naughty!

Yeah, that's pretty cheeky. You aren't supposed to buy Blitz and warez it among yourselves. :/

I'm guessing this company http://www.gameshastra.com/ has bought BMax and a battery farm of programmers is using the one account to get help on BMax (and possibly updates, etc).

If its a company doing it, then that's infinitely worse. They should know better.

Is he actually doing this though (Sharing his account with people)?

Well, his name varies between D Ramesh, Bjorn and Lance. What you reckon? Either three people are sharing a single account, or someone's having an identity crisis.

Maybe his name is Bjorn Lance D Ramesh. :)

Unless, of course, they paid for a site license, which would probably have one forum account and permission to install the software on X machines.

Didn't know BRL did site licenses.

Hmm... can a site licence span three continents?

I suspect they do any license you want if they like the deal and you do too.


What difference would it make to BRL? X licenses for one company = $Y, regardless of where the people using it are. You don't get a site license because of geography, you get one because you're buying multiple copies in one payment. Same as with educational licenses.

Not to side with "evil" here, but it must be admitted that Blitz products generally lack any licensing information...

That's exactly what a site licence is - its a licence, for a site, hence the name. Unless its being argued that your 'site' is the entire western hemisphere...
Therefore multiple copies should also mean multiple user accounts.
Can't really argue with that.
